We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAuthenticator and One Identity Safeguard based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Auth0 and others in Single Sign-On (SSO)."The implementation has significantly improved access management within our organization."
"The feature I value the most is the one-time passwords because it helps to authenticate users so you know the timing of their usage."
"The first valuable feature is being able to see everything on one platform. This includes logs and authentication failure."
"The initial setup is so easy and there is no problem in the implementation."
"The two-step authentication provides a higher level of security."
"It keeps track of users and their IPs no matter where they are in the network. When users roam, we don't have to worry about not mapping them to an IP."
"I appreciate its ability to provide multi-factor authentication, but it's primarily focused on this function."
"The solution is easy to learn and makes it easy for our users to add FortiToken. It's very easy to integrate if you have other Fortinet devices."
"The extensible framework for authentication is one of the most valuable features. We use an MFA plug-in and a lot of different factors, depending on what the business use-cases are. And of course, the auditing functionality is also valuable."
"The identity discovery is good, and the performance is pretty good value."
"All sessions are audited and they are indexed/searchable through the GUI."
"We deployed it into our company for controlling a client's behavior in our data center. It is very useful to control their connections, such as RDP."
"One Identity Safeguard is stable and provides great performance."
"There are numerous valuable data protection features, including the content and information that offer us more scalable protection as needed."
"It's a good solution for managing identities under OneFile for authorization."
"The whole product solves the privileged access management challenge for our company. We have a secure tunnel, a secure session manager, and automatic logging of sessions, which is good for forensic purposes. We have a rich level of logs and can trace what happened on which machine and see who did what."
"There are multiple areas that are in need of improvement. It is not a mature product."
"Improvements in the product could start from the dashboard, overall customization, and configuration."
"The GUI has some shortcomings and can be made better. The GUI is not great."
"There are some protocols, such as SHA and SHA-2, that are not supported."
"It can not use SQL to query FortiAnalyzer directly."
"For improvement, Fortinet needs to ensure that they provide quick support to users...Fortinet sometimes needs to respond to users facing issues within an hour."
"The integration with third-party tools must be better."
"A better integration with other vendors."
"Support for One Identity Safeguard could be improved because sometimes the support team doesn't have an answer or solution for some bugs. A feature I found in a competitor would make One Identity Safeguard better, and that is the ability to load balance the traffic in the target."
"Some of the out-of-the-box reporting isn't that rich. We spoke to our Safeguard reps who have acknowledged that some of the reporting features can certainly be improved and that we're not the only customer who has cited this. There are very little out-of-the-box reporting capabilities. You have to build the queries and the report. I believe in the next release they're going to be addressing this."
"I would like to see an adjustment with more enterprise architecture. You can buy multiple appliances but you can not fully separate different functions, so scaling might be a bit more complicated."
"We would like to have the option of importing assets by using the CSV file. It was available in the earlier versions, but it is not available now."
"The product uses a lot of resources in current sessions."
"From a usability perspective, what we are finding out is that our privileged domain admin users, in particular, want functionality for extending a checkout session. So we are working with One Identity support to see if there's an enhancement that can be made to the product."
"We have feature requests and would like to see the turnaround times on those features to be faster."
"There is room for improvement in the launch module. They built in a launch button but they don't have effective instructions for configuring it to allow it to launch an RDP session. They're working on that, but the button is in the live product. If they were going to install something that wasn't useful, they should have just disabled it and not rolled it out with the product."
